Spain: Architecture Class

Submitted by Nicole Caracciolo on the 2019 fall semester study abroad program in Barcelona, Spain…

On Wednesday, one of my classes took a field trip to the German Pavillion to sketch any part of the architecture we wanted. I have never been interested in art and have never taken any art classes at UD, but there was something very soothing about sketching a picture for this class. There was no pressure for it to be perfect- he just wanted something on the paper. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would have and was actually really focused on the detail of my drawing. I don’t know if I will ever pursue drawing/sketching as a real hobby, but it is definitely something I may start doing when I want to relax and take some time to myself.
